After receiving He Wen's answer, Annalin showed a gentle smile.
"You really don't look like a devil. You care so much about other people's lives and deaths, and you are so kind."
"Don't flatter me, I may not be able to do what you want to say."
He Wen interrupted Annalin. Although he didn't want to be too rude to Shalia's former friend, time was really tight now, and after listening to Annalin's commission, he also had questions to ask the former elf. Saint.
So hurry up, I haven't heard any flattery when I was a surgeon.
"Originally, I didn't have any hope. I left a trace of my soul here. This was a helpless choice, but this is fate. If it's you... maybe you can really do it. arrive."
Shirin, no, it should be said that Annalin looked at He Wen with determination in her eyes.
"I hope that you can save the elves from being exterminated in this catastrophe."
This was a bit beyond He Wen's expectation. He Wen originally thought she would say that he wanted to rescue her from the place where she was imprisoned. This was a very difficult thing. Even she herself didn't know where she was imprisoned. at.
But now, the elf princess actually made a more serious request.
So He Wen did not speak, but remained silent temporarily.
Seeing He Wen's silence, Annalin seemed a little anxious.
"...I know this is a rather presumptuous request. You are not my race, and you are a demon. I actually asked you to save my race, but...the elves really have no one left. There’s still a way to go.”
At this time, a trace of despair and unwillingness flashed across the face of Shilin, who was possessed by Annalin. It was difficult for He Wen to imagine what happened to these elves that caused them to fall to this point.
"Annalyn..."
Shalia remained silent. She was afraid that her words would affect He Wen's judgment. But when she saw her former friend showing such an expression, she couldn't help it, and secretly made a decision in her heart. He Wen rejected Annalin, and he would also ask He Wen to let him handle this matter.
"Are you blaming yourself?"
He Wen did not agree to Annalin, nor did he refuse, but asked this question that made everyone a little confused, but only Annalin, her eyes were full of astonishment.
It was as if he had been completely seen through by the demon in front of him.
"You...can actually see my heart through the fragments of my soul...You are truly a powerful demon."
He Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, I'm not that powerful. I can't even see how you possessed Shireen, but I have a brain and I can think about it."
He Wen pointed to his head, and then continued.
"I learned from your friend Shalia that her last memory was that you married the king of mankind. You even gave humans the power to control magic. I guess you led this ceremony."
Annalin's eyes flashed with loneliness, and then she slowly lowered her head. She put her hands on her chest, as if it was an instinctive self-protection.
"You are right. This ceremony was led by me. I personally gave the evil power that strangled the people to the hands of those evil and greedy people. I am a sinner of the elves..."
Her voice was full of endless self-blame and loss, but this was not what He Wen wanted to hear, so he spoke bluntly.
"I'm sorry for asking you strange questions. Now tell me, how can I save your people? If you mean to exterminate the human race, I'm sorry, I can't do it."
After hearing He Wen's words, Annalin raised her head slightly and looked at He Wen with a slightly surprised look, but then turned into a wry smile.
"Although I didn't intend for you to do such a terrible thing, you are really a unique devil. You would refuse an opportunity to destroy the race."
He Wen also learned from some ancient books and even absorbed soul memories that demons are synonymous with evil and chaos in this world. They are not a race, but a chaotic creature. They have no emotions, no reason, and some are just endless. of destruction and desire to conquer.
They created the demons to satisfy their power needs. The demons are like the spare dry food they carry with them. Once the demons are hungry, they will draw strength from the demons.
And when the demon was expelled by some powerful will in this world, the demon was also affected by the demon's evil thoughts and became a being that wanted to destroy everything.
From the strength of the demons, we can basically see how terrifying the power of the demons is.
But the devil in front of her was different. He had no desire to destroy living things. From his body, Annalin could not feel the chaotic aura of the devil on his body.
Annalin even felt that this person was more human than a demon.
He prefers the period he is familiar with and the humans who were not dazzled by the power of magic.
"So what exactly do you want me to do?"
He Wen felt that the other party was observing him carefully, and he immediately felt alert, his body tensed, and his tone became cold and firm.
"In our elves, there are two kinds of power, one is called magic, and the other is arcane. Magic is the power that is now exclusively controlled by humans. It was the gift we once gave to humans to witness friendship. , and the arcane law can only be used by elves, this is a power that is inherited from the same source."
Speaking of this, Annalin's face showed a trace of sullenness.
"Magic is as natural to us as breathing...but humans don't know where they learned the power..." She spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be squeezed from the depths of the years. Come out, "They counterattacked the bodies of us elves through the demon spirit veins. This unclean power seeped into our blood, depriving us of the ability to communicate with nature."
He Wen didn't speak. He listened quietly under this depression and solemnity.
"Even in the end..." the princess' tone was full of sorrow, "our elven tribe has protected the source of life and wisdom for many eras - the source of arcane magic has been polluted. It has become colorless, tasteless and dead."
He Wen could even imagine a scene from Annalin's description: the arcane sources that were once full of vitality, shining with mysterious and ancient ripples of light, now only remain as silent as dead water.
"So our elves, now even the arcane energy flowing in our blood has been lost in the dust of history."
The princess' voice revealed her loneliness, "That's why I let myself be slaughtered... and was brought to the brink of destruction."
After a pause, Annalin's eyes penetrated the darkness and looked directly at He Wen as if she were real, and said: "So I want to ask you, Mr. Devil -"
The tone of her voice turned pleading, "I hope you can cleanse our arcane source."
The air seemed to have weight because of this request.
"As long as I can regain my strength..."
By the end, her voice slowly dropped to a near whisper.
"My people can live in the sun again, pray to the wind, dance for the earth, praise life, praise the sun, the moon and everything we sing for."
He Wen finally understood. It's no wonder that the elves don't retaliate against the atrocities committed by humans.
Many of the captured elven slaves I saw in the underground kingdom of Taris City seemed to have a rebellious heart, but they had absolutely no power to fight against humans and could only be reduced to humans to vent their sexual desires and other perverted desires. Tool of.
After all, the elves are favored by heaven. They are the closest to the world, so almost all of them are handsome men and beautiful women. For humans, this is really the best toy.
"I am a devil, not a messenger of God."
But He Wen had to remind Annalin.
"I can't guarantee that I have the power to purify."
Annalynn shook her head slightly.
"It has nothing to do with your power, Mr. Demon, you just need to take my soul to various arcane sources, and I will purify it."
I see. It seems that I really have to do this by myself. Even Shalia may not have the power to extract her soul.
So He Wen nodded, but he immediately put forward his own conditions.
"I also have my own doubts, I hope you can answer them for me."
After Annalin saw He Wen gently nodding in agreement, her face instantly glowed with joy, like the first flower blooming in spring.
At this moment, Shilin, who was possessed by her, seemed to be driven by an uncontrollable excitement and suddenly rushed to He Wen.
She stretched out her slender and flawless white palm, as if carefully carved by a craftsman, and tightly grasped He Wen's hand.
"You, you say! If you need my help, you can do it!" Shirin's eyes shone with endless expectation and pure joy.
Her extremely happy and slightly childish expression is indeed like a child who still maintains curiosity and joy about the world.
Even though Annalynn, who possessed Shireen just now, had the unique nobility and calmness of a mature elf noble, at this moment, it was replaced by the innocence and clarity of a child.
Innocent and innocent - these four words seem to be born to describe the creature in front of you at this moment.
However, there was another person present who had been watching. At this moment, she also noticed Annalin's subtle changes.
Shalia couldn't help but laugh, with a little bit of relaxation and warmth mixed in the laughter.
"Yes, this is what you look like, Annalin." Shalia looked at Annalin with soft eyes, "Don't always talk so tensely, it's so tiring."
So He Wen realized at this time that the character of this elf princess was originally that lively and cute type.
